Unboxing Hobonichi 2025 | Round Two

[@moonlit.journal]

Loved watching this haul and hearing your genuine excitement come through! ✨This year's box is sooo cute

[@chapter48creative]

Thank you! I started using the Weeks for Japanese study. If I ever DO get to Japan, maybe I'll be able to ask where a bathroom is.😜

[@jinoshiosote4049]

Gurl! no shame! Is rent paid? yes? Then leave me alone! Thank you so much for explaining the pencil board. It's been a game changer! Hugs! 😇🥰😚

[@chapter48creative]

Absolutely! All the bills are paid! This is my hobby money. Should it go into savings? Sure, but that's what the rest of the year is for. 😜

[@SezArrow]

No judgement, it's your money and your life! I also placed a 2nd order recently as I missed out on items I wanted during the schmozzle of release day. And I have that black drawer pouch, I love it - I use it as my wallet and can confirm that it does fit the Weeks!

[@chapter48creative]

@@SezArrow I still haven’t figured out how I’ll fill alllllll those pockets in the pouch, but I did slip the new weeks into it. I’ve made my peace with the quantity of planners I’ve purchased for 2025. I’ve even accepted that I may not manage to be in all of them all the time. As long as I’m having fun and keeping it low pressure…then I’m good with my life choices. We’ll see how many show up regularly in videos. 😜🫶🏻🙈

[@TynishaThompson]

Every time you take a deep breath, I crack up because this is me exactly with all my 2025 planners coming in. 😂😂😂 Don’t be embarrassed, you are amongst friends.

[@chapter48creative]

Just a few months ago I was like, "Two. I'm just going to get two." and somewhere along the line I lost all my senses and cannot be contained. I legit need a support group. 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

[@warayph]

😂😂 a whole community of us. And great plan for your weeks. I have the same Mother2.

[@shaffroncity]

Same 😂

[@nessieplans]

Enjoy your planners and notebooks and don’t worry about it. I’m always happy when people are excited because I get excited as well. ♥️

[@chapter48creative]

Thank you. I'm going to enjoy each and every one of them...and when I don't anymore, they can be set aside until I feel like using them again and that's alllllright.

[@Cinnmnbn564]

I agree. I don’t understand why others get so pressed about us who love having all the things. I think everyone should do what they please. It’s a hobby after all.

[@jiuuren]

i was dying throughout the whole thing xDDD sometimes you just gotta get stuff when you know in your heart you really want iT. And don't be embarrassed i also placed a second order just the other day for a lot of notebooks & accessories since I felt like my planner was lonely LOL Excited for the techo kaigi with all these goodies ;)))

[@chapter48creative]

We cannot have lonely planners!!!! That will not stand. 😜

[@user-IdaB]

I consider your channel a safe environment! No shame!! 😂😂❤❤

[@chapter48creative]

Thank you. 😂

[@user-IdaB]

Morning! How are you? Missing your positivity in the midst of your health issues!! Praying for you this morning!!!!

[@chapter48creative]

@@user-IdaB Thank you. I’m dealing with an incredibly sick doggo. About to take him for his second day at the vet. 😢

[@user-IdaB]

@@chapter48creative Crying with you. Our poor babies can’t tell us exactly how they feel but we know. 🥲

[@chapter48creative]

@@user-IdaB He’s so miserable. Seems he’s got a pretty bad case of pancreatitis. All because FedEx lost his food delivery and I had to abruptly switch and feed him his old food without the slow transition I normally would have. Long story. I’m sure I’ll mention it in an upcoming video. Just gotta get him comfortable. And stop giving the vet all of my money!!!

[@diane_elizabeth]

Love spending time with you. Nice haul. I deconstructed my sterling a5 notebook and my botanical A5 techo. Then I glued the cover from the botanical A5 techo notebook onto the sterling notebook adding a ribbon bookmark and an envelope in the back. My goal is achieved: I created a hard cover, gilded-edge, grid-ruled, tomoe River paper A5 notebook with the ribbon bookmark and envelope-in-the-back features that I like from Leuchtturm. I'm enjoying my new "Franken Notebook" It's fountain pen friendly.❤😊 Never be embarrassed for sharing your lovely stationery hauls XD

[@chapter48creative]

That sounds amazing!

[@rdeniserhinehart7512]

How cute she is!!

[@linhnguyens1]

The baby box is absolutely adorable AND pristineeeeee 😍 I made 2 Hobonichi orders too, and was tempted for a third, but I didn't want to pay for shipping and they didn't have some of the pencil boards from last year I wanted to pick up, so I made an impulse 3rd order from Jetpens 😅 Lovely haul video! ❤ Fun little-known fact about Hobonichi: the founder, Shigesato Itoi, was one of the main developers of the MOTHER games! Also known as Earthbound to the US audience, Ness is the main protagonist (also featured in Smash Bros games) 😊

[@chapter48creative]

That's fantastic trivia! How interesting. I hope you love everything you got!

[@EmilyKariya]

I made a video a while ago about how to make careful, sensible planner choices. I have also done three planner orders so far and this morning I was loading up my Japan Amazon cart with a fourth. 50% of which I have no clear use for. No judgement from me 😂😂😂❤

[@chapter48creative]

I feel that! 🫶🏻

[@vgesztesi]

I love your honesty! I would be very curious about your language learning plans in that beautiful weeks.

[@chapter48creative]

I will try to share it after a few months of working in it.

[@Cinnmnbn564]

My son is level 5 in Japanese I can share the tutor he used to pass his Japanese language proficiency certificate 🤗

[@chapter48creative]

@@Cinnmnbn564 wow! that’s impressive!

[@cupcake32009]

What's wild is I made 2 separate hobonichi orders, I too also bought the blank a6 for getting back into daily sketching. I do 20 minutes a day. And this year I use a weeks for my japanese language study. Next year I need more space so I will be moving to the A5 day free and. Good luck with your studies!!

[@chapter48creative]

We're practically twins. I'm sure that if I get deep into the language learning I will have to upgrade on space, too. I think this will work well for my plans this year and be easy to take with me to Japan...if and when. I want to set aside some time several times a week to doodle/sketch. I just have to figure out when I'm going to do everything I "want" to do. I'm going to have to get super efficient and organized!

[@waahtever]

Our orders were quite similar. I also got the black pouch (and the wee box), with an A5 grid + A5 blank, and I got 2 of the A6 blanks. Instead of a weeks I got an A6 avec though :)

[@chapter48creative]

I hope you love your goodies! Do you know how you'll be using the black pouch?

[@waahtever]

@@chapter48creative I’m using it to carry my day log (a weeks sized Sterling ink notebook) and my catch-all mess book (A6 midori rn, hobonichi later), since they’re my pared down everyday/small trip carry. They fit really comfortably in the pouch together, not overfull and no weird bulging.

[@chapter48creative]

@@waahtever I’m trying to figure out how to use all the little pockets!! Was thinking maybe all the mini icon sticker sheets I would probably use in my pistachio Weeks.

[@terrilabeth]

I love your sweet little haul! No shame to your game, get what you want and be happy! Now I want to see what is in your drawer wallet in like 2 months. Should be very interesting! 😂 💕

[@chapter48creative]

Thank you. I'm going to have to give it a good think to figure out what all I want in it!

[@yesimthatlisa]

For Me, I figured out the pen reminded me of Bert (yellow) and Ernie (orange). I think the Weeks you picked is really cool, I was considering it (along with a few others). I also just really love the Weeks. The last time I got a Mega Weeks I did make full use of it - now I definitely would divide up all the extra pages in the back and use up all those pages. Those forever envelopes are super awesome.

[@chapter48creative]

At first I thought it was weird to get a Weeks featuring a game I know nothing about, but why? If I'm drawn to the look of it, it doesn't really matter where the artwork originated. I can still enjoy it. Forever envelopes!!! I don't know why I couldn't think of that during the filming.

[@karenbarker5018]

Hey!! Just found your channel!!! I too love, love planners!!!! My excuse? I have none, my money,i spend!!!!

[@chapter48creative]

I figure I don't spend money on all the fancy shoes, handbags, manicures, alllll the makeup and hair products. I spend it on my hobbies. It evens out. 😜

[@karenbarker5018]

@chapter48creative I am so with you!! I have always been a pen and paper girl, and I am staying that way!! Not my only hobby, but it has got me in a tight grip!!!!! Lol!!!

[@chapter48creative]

@@karenbarker5018 Don’t even get me started on the art supplies I have hidden in every piece of furniture that doubles as storage. 😂

@chapter48creative Here I was thinking that I have a serious problem with all things cross stitch, 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@darlamaple6319]

Trust me you are not alone - I placed several orders. Just couldn't stop myself.

[@chapter48creative]

kindred spirits. 😜

[@daysbydee]

so ordered 2 times as well: because I got stressed when their site locked up! same thing …. no judgement here ! I am loving your language planner idea - I may take some of those ideas myself - Also learning japanese ❤❤

[@chapter48creative]

Do it! Maybe some day we can practice speaking to each other. 🤔😜

[@daysbydee]

@@chapter48creative That sounds fun 🤩

[@rdeniserhinehart7512]

I also did three orders. Yikes!

[@phoebecasin]

No shame. I placed three orders last year, and I’m receiving my second 2025 order this week. 😂🫶🏻

[@chapter48creative]

I hope you love every single thing you got!
